Faith in Christ's work of redemption has become so weak among mankind that it is therefore in great danger. And God has known about this weakness of faith since eternity. The number of those who are deeply imbued with the divine saviour's most holy mission is small to mention, for many confessors of His name only do so outwardly and will also give up this shallow faith if they are forced to do so. Christ's work of redemption was a work of love which can only be understood through love, which can only be truly grasped by people who live in love themselves and who therefore know that love is capable of the greatest sacrifice. But anyone who is far removed from love will never be able to understand the greatness of the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for humanity. The suffering and death on the cross can only be empathized with and experienced with all its agony by people whose hearts are capable of love, whereas the unloving person will have no understanding for the agony of Jesus' sacrificial death. And since humanity is now devoid of all love, it has also lost faith in the work of redemption, and this is the explanation as to why faith in Jesus Christ is to be eradicated in the world. Only love can recognize Him as the son of God and redeemer of the world.... But he who lacks love rejects Him, for his God is always the prince of darkness, and his power is recognized through the desire for the world, which makes people incapable of any activity of love. And it will be difficult to live in the midst of a world without love and to keep faith in Jesus Christ.... It will be difficult to withstand the temptations of the world and it will be difficult to defend faith in the divine love of the saviour and to openly confess His name before the world. And yet this will be possible for people who live a life of love, for they are permeated by His spirit and will be victorious over the world and its fighters if they are closely united through love with the one Who is love Itself. They are deeply imbued with divine wisdom and know about the great guilt of the spiritual being as well as about the incomprehensible grace which was acquired for them through Jesus' death on the cross.... They also know that only the profound love for their fellow human beings motivated Jesus to sacrifice Himself for them, and thus they recognize Him in their hearts and are now also able to represent Him and His act of salvation before the world and confess His name aloud. And these few will take up the battle which the world announces to them; they will not be afraid because the divine saviour, Who gave His blood for people in order to redeem them from the power of the adversary, stands by their side.... He will once again take up arms against the followers of Christ and a battle will break out that can only be fought in deep faith in Jesus Christ. And unkindness will come to light more than ever, and once again love will have to suffer but will also be able to bear all suffering.... Christ will be nailed to the cross again, so He will be denied by humanity, to whom His death on the cross was supposed to bring salvation from the greatest adversity. And only love will confess Him, only those people who are able to love will remain faithful to Him, for the divine saviour Himself will give them the strength to resist their enemies and they will be and remain victorious even if they lose their earthly life, for they were in truth followers of Jesus and, if necessary, will also seal their loyalty to Him with their physical death.... For in them faith is alive in Jesus Christ as the son of God and saviour of the world....
